The Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra is hosting its second annual online silent auction. Numerous packages, services, and gifts have been generously donated and are open for bids now. The fundraiser, dubbed “All you need is love and an auction”, will remain open until February 11. Some of the exciting items, to name a few, include a private airplane ride to Door County (with a stop for lunch and wine of course!), a massage package, beautiful jewelry, piano lessons, tickets to a comedy show, and a Milwaukee Bucks elite package including a hotel and gift card. MSO Executive Director Peggy Pitz notes, “This year, our focus is Valentine’s Day; gifts of love, romance and, of course, gifts meant to please most everyone. We thank our donors for providing us with a wide variety of gifts and we certainly hope many people take advantage of what we have to offer. Who wouldn’t want to see the Bucks play the 76ers on St. Patrick’s Day? Who wouldn’t love to enjoy a lunch or dinner with Maestro Wildman? Any dog lover should for sure bid on Mutts Gone Nuts at the Capitol Civic Centre on Sunday, March 10 for a 3:30 pm matinee. And, this is just a start. We continuously seek fresh ideas to introduce to both our faithful and potential subscribers. The goal for this auction is $3000 with all funds supporting the operations of the Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra.” The mission of the Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra Association is to promote the classical music experience in the community of Manitowoc County through presentation and education while providing the highest quality of classical music, balanced with the opportunity for participation by local musicians. All auction items can be viewed online at https://www.32auctions.com/lovemso. Further questions can be directed to Peggy Pitz at info@manitowocsymphony.org or 920.684.3492. Bids should be in by February 11th.
